If you had been a resident of Prague in 1930, you might have met a Mormon elder on the street who handed you this leaflet, inviting you to a public presentation on “100 Years of Mormonism.” Would you have come?

(The phrase Církve Ježiše Krista sv. p. dnů is the name of the Church. One of the two short phrases in the bottom right corner no doubt is the Czech equivalent of “no collection taken.” Otherwise, you’re on your own.)

Hmmm. Sounds like Google Translate might be the green missionary in France who preaches about “l’amour physique” instead of “la mort physique” … that could be the “native language of passion” of which you speak …

That should make for some puzzled French investigators–what’s all this talk about salvation from “l’amour physique”?

But this handbill does remind me how lost I felt when I crossed from Austria into the Czech Republic. The German “April” makes a lot more sense than the Czech “dubna.” Even the Japanese “1930年 4月 6日” is easier to figure out.
